Large-area fabrication of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) through mass-production techniques has attracted growing attention due to their potential applications in lighting. Several breakthroughs are made for red/infrared and green emissions. Nevertheless, large-area blue/sky-blue PeLEDs, a requisite color lighting, have not yet been reported. Here, efficient sky-blue PeLEDs fabricated blade-coating supersaturated precursors. The volume ratio dimethyl sulfoxide dimethylformamide is...
Optical measurements and band structure calculations are reported on three-dimensional Dirac materials. The electronic properties associated with the cone identified in reflectivity spectra of ${\mathrm{Cd}}_{3}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ ${\mathrm{Na}}_{3}\mathrm{Bi}$ single crystals. In ${\mathrm{Na}}_{3}\mathrm{Bi}$, plasma edge is found to be strongly temperature dependent due thermally excited free carriers cone. thermal behavior provides an estimate Fermi level ${E}_{F}=25$ meV $z$-axis...
van der Waals (vdW) heterodiodes composed of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials led to a new prospect in photoelectron diodes and photovoltaic devices. Existing studies have shown that Type-I heterostructures great potential be used as photodetectors; however, the tunneling phenomena not been fully revealed. Herein, highly efficient nn+ WS2/PtS2 vdW heterostructure photodiode is constructed. The device shows an ultrahigh reverse rectification ratio 105 owing transmission barrier-induced...
Inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with PEDOT:PSS as hole transporting layers exhibit tremendous prospects for flexible photovoltaic applications owing to their characteristics of low-temperature solution processability and favorable flexibility. Nevertheless, the energy level mismatch layer results in a severe deficit. In addition, acidity is detrimental stability devices. To address these issues, we employ glyceryl monostearate (GMS) interlayer improve work function conductivity...
Abstract In this paper, we study honorification in Chinese from a diachronic perspective. Classical is found to exhibit large number of lexical items used elevate other discourse. The aspects that are elevated specific titles, positions/statuses, knowledge/expertise, age/generation, taste/appearance and addressee general. contemporary Chinese, find some these lexemes have disappeared, remained, others become restricted use. At the same time, new come into being better fit changed (and still...
The critical exponents of the HoNi2 intermetallic alloy have been precisely obtained from modified Arrott plots and Kouvel-Fisher method, with values: β = 0.215, γ 0.748, δ 4.489. With these values exponents, isothermal magnetization M (μ0H) curves collapse below above Curie temperature (TC 14 K) into two universal branches, fulfilling single scaling equation m=f±(h), where m h are normalized magnetic field, respectively. reliability was confirmed by Widom hypothesis δ=1+γ/β, indicating that...
Abstract In this study, we examine patterns of gift-refusing in Chinese. Exchanging gifts is a fundamental part Chinese social interaction which follows ostensible ritual conventions: gift often expected to be refused before it can accepted. We focus on conventionalised expressions through speech acts realising genuine are indicated. Such have an important interactional function because gift-exchanges trigger aggression: the participants engage persuasion-dissuasion game accept/refuse gift....
Abstract In this study we examine how flattery was realised in historical Chinese interactions. We bring together ritual, speech acts and interaction, studying a corpus of interactions drawn from the late imperial satirical novel Guanchang Xianxing Ji 官场现形记 (‘Officialdom Unmasked’). Many claims have been made about prevalence social particular China. Since little language-anchored research has dedicated to Chinese, fills knowledge gap. conducted tripartite analysis focusing on: (1) can be...
Chiral pumping from optical electric fields oscillating at terahertz frequencies is observed in the Weyl material TaAs with and magnetic aligned along both $a$ $c$ axes. Free-carrier spectral weight enhancement measured directly, confirming theoretical expectations of chiral pumping. A departure linear field dependence Drude highest quantum limit, providing evidence field-dependent Fermi velocity Landau level. Implications for effect semimetals $f$-sum rule are discussed.
Spectral fingerprint and terahertz (THz) field-induced carrier dynamics demands the exploration of broadband intense THz signal sources. Spintronic emitters (STEs), with high stability, a low cost, an ultrabroad bandwidth, have been hot topic in field One main barriers to their practical application is lack STE strong radiation intensity. Here, through combination optical physics ultrafast photonics, Tamm plasmon coupling (TPC) facilitating realized between spin thin films photonic crystal...
The aim of this study is to examine how Chinese learners English evaluate 'altered speech act indicating functions' conventionalised expressions normally associated with one specific act. In every language, there a strongly relationship between and acts. notion altered indication implies that many can conventionally indicate more than act, or completely lose their function. We explore the phenomenon by focusing on evaluations who were presented examples featuring acts Thank Greet, which...
Spintronic thin films are considered as one of the promising terahertz (THz) source candidates, owing to their high performance and low cost. Much effort has been made achieve spintronic THz sources with broadband conversion efficiency. However, development emitters good compatibility, cost, miniaturized technology still faces many challenges. Therefore, it is urgent extend commercial portable satisfy practical applications. Herein, we design a new generation composed an alternating...
Abstract This paper investigates the phenomenon of greeting in English, which can be surprisingly challenging for speakers other languages, such as Chinese. By ‘greeting’ we mean seemingly ‘simple’ act choosing conventionalized expressions at opening an encounter. Following pilot interviews with Chinese learners English who reported puzzlement concerning pursue a two-fold approach to explore conventions and First, use corpora investigate pragmatic differences similarities between uses...
This paper presents a contrastive pragmatic analysis of the use expressions (M)minzu-zhuyi 民族主义 and nationalism in Chinese U.S. American linguacultures. In research informed by 'Western' interpretations nationalism, it has often been assumed that is an essentially negative phenomenon. The present argues any involving term needs to critically revisit this assumption. We argue no direct equivalent because expression minzu-zhuyi, counterpart used two entirely different ways: a) as common noun...
Recently, SnSe has been found to possess a remarkable thermoelectric performance. As an isostructural compound SnSe, SnS contains more environmentally compatible and earth abundant element, which enables promising material for commercial application. In this work, we have performed systematic studies of the crystal structures lattice vibrations by means neutron total scattering, Raman scattering measurements, first-principle calculations. A structural transition observed both temperature...
In this study, we investigate self-denigration in Chinese by applying a strictly language-based interactional speech act approach. Previous research has often zeroed on studying the pragmatic function of expressions selected beforehand researcher. As an alternative, propose bottom-up approach through which can be captured phases interaction and acts embedded these phases. Our corpus consists dialogues drawn from novels written between 14th 20th centuries. our analysis shows, serves...
Abstract This paper explores the difficulties of translating Chinese expressions frequently used in communicating governmental policies to public. In particular, we focus on expression wenming 文明, a term with manifold meanings and uses, which often ends up being translated into English simply as ‘civilised’. translational convention is problematic because tends be many collocations where civilised sounds distinctly alien. order systematically investigate this problem, propose bottom-up...
